This statement applies to the My Default Site site ().

This website is run by King's Digital Lab, King's College London (KDL) in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

• zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We know some part of this website are not fully accessible:

• Dynamic content is handled with VueJS and we are aware that the rendered HTML includes custom tags that don't pass the W3 Validator. This may interfere with assistive technologies. We are still in the process of assessing the site and plan to ensure all important content, if not all, is accessible.

Compliance status
